Re: Parting with some items: objectives and scarce Olympus parts
interesting stuff you are selling!
I would like to test the U-DICTH slider in my poorman's Frankenstein DIC setup although I can't justify the price
Are you selling a Qioptiq Mag.x 5x?

AFAIK the term superachromat means superior to apochromat, although the therm is not very popular. Some makers prefer "superapochromat" that sounds fancier(Superachromats are slightly less corrected than semiapochromats/fluorites, this tube lens does outperform the Thorlabs Nikon ITL200 which is labelled apochromatic).

Thanks for the correction, I meant "semiapochromat", how did that turn into superachromat? Must be a brainfart.Pau wrote: ↑Thu Jun 16, 2022 12:55 aminteresting stuff you are selling!

For the U-DICTH to function correctly, you will need special HR prisms for higher magnification especially, else it will be like oblique.
I *might* sell the 5x mag.x, second I know to exist. I paid quite a lot for it.

Do these marks harm the final result of the photograph?Macro_Cosmos wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 11:28 pmTime to part with some of my prized toys after an annoying injury.

Motic, also rebranded as Edmund Optics.
$350: 20x Plan Apo ELWD (scuffs on front optic)
Would you have any sample photos taken with this lens?
Could I see a photo of the lens and those marks on the front?
Thank you very much
Re: Parting with some items: objectives and scarce Olympus parts
I'm interested in that 10x dic prism...

It is AR coating scuffs, very hard to photograph. I will try when I find the time.quenoteam wrote: ↑Fri Jun 17, 2022 9:41 amDo these marks harm the final result of the photograph?Macro_Cosmos wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 11:28 pmTime to part with some of my prized toys after an annoying injury.
